The Zoo Story (2008)

The Zoo Story

by Edward Albee

A man, consumed with loneliness, starts up a conversation with another man on a bench in Central Park and eventually forces him to participate in an act of violence…

Combining both realistic and absurd elements, Albee has constructed a short but multi-leveled play dealing with issues of human isolation, loneliness, class differences, and the dangers of inaction within American society. He focuses on the need for people to acknowledge and understand each other’s differences.

“This two-hander explodes off the stage. The acting is mesmerising and the audience was gripped.”

“Wonderful!”
